In a rare glimpse into the life of Beyoncé, British Vogue served tea with a side of honey in a revealing interview that offered an intimate peek into the entertainment mogul’s private life.
The acclaimed singer chopped it up with Edward Enniful, the editor in chief of the posh publication, about her family life, favorite foods, philanthropy, and of course, fashion. Much to the delight of Yoncé fans, affectionately known as the Beyhive, a surprising revelation in the article proves that the nickname, Queen Bey may be more accurate than previously imagined, as the multi-hyphenated diva told British Vogue that she has actual beehives at her house.
Beyoncé acknowledged that although beehives at her house sounded peculiar, she has them for good reasons.
“I know it’s random, but I have two beehives. Real ones. I’ve had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees, and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year,” Mrs. Carter explained. “I started the beehives because my daughters, Blue and Rumi, both have terrible allergies, and honey has countless healing properties.”
Although the thought of thousands of honeybees buzzing around the yard might give many people the shivers, Twitter users Stanned hard.
One Twitter user threw shade at the Beyhive, highlighting that the mother of three has a real beehive.

One Twitter user thought there may be a possibility for the singer to start selling her own honey, as it’s no secret the “Grown Woman” singer is about her coins.
